Fall

Two weeks ago, fall was in full display when we were in Cooperstown. Around here, we're about to catch up. In the meantime, I made some lovely pictures in upstate New York.

Here is my boy, demonstrating his charms.

There were lovely pumpkins.

Even more pumpkins, this time with mums.

I think that mums are the patron saint of autumn.

At the cider mill, there were bins of apples. We bought a bag to enjoy.

This giant flowerpot made me terribly envious.

Cooperstown itself was really most charming.

We're having a snap of cold this week, just in time for the bulk of the leaves to take on their colors. Sweaters and fleeces are at hand. I put on some tights today and set the furnace to come on to ease the morning chill. It feels nice to tuck under a warm quilt and embrace the next season.

About Me

I think the Republican party is venal and ignorant and I fear we all bear the costs. I am ready for the Democrats to control Congress. I like to read (I just finished Viet Thanh Nguyen’s The Sympathizer,), garden, cook, and talk.
I love… birdsong in the morning, the neighborhood woodpecker, cheerful pennants, days warm enough to sit on the front porch, soft sheets, floral skirts, the sky at dawn, peach blossoms, shiny toenails, blue skies, dogwood flowers, azalea blooms, my new rhododendron, ponytails, peepers, my fairy garden, the fresh smell of spring rain, a walk at Colonial Park, Spring recipes, party planning, and sleep after a good workout.
